They played their first shows in early 1966, and became known for their elaborate vocal arrangements, and for their taste in soul music, and American West-Coast bands the Beach Boys, the Byrds, Love and Moby Grape. Their manager, Tony Secunda, got them a weekly residency at London's Marquee Club, where they appeared dressed in gangster regalia. Roy Wood wrote their first single, "Night Of Fear", a No. 2 hit in the UK in January 1967 which began the Move's practice of musical quotation (in this case, the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky). Their second single, "I Can Hear The Grass Grow", was another ...

Scilly has been inhabited since stone-age times and its history has been one of subsistence living until this century with people living from the land and the sea. Farming and fishing continue today, but the main industry now is tourism. The islands may correspond to the Cassiterides ("Tin Isles") visited by the Phoenicians and mentioned by the Greeks. It is likely that until relatively recently the Isles were much larger and that as late as Roman times there was only one large island. At certain low tides the sea becomes shallow enough for people to walk between some of the islands. This is possibly one of the sources fo ...

On August 15 1965, Indian forces crossed the ceasefire line and launched an attack on Pakistan administered Kashmir, marking an official beginning to the war. Pakistani reports cite this attack as unprovoked. Indian reports cite the attack as a response to a tip the Indian forces received from Kashmiri civilians about Pakistani soldiers crossing the Line of Control (LoC) dressed as local Kashmiris. Most of the war was fought on land by each country's infantry and armored units, with substantial backing from their air forces. Initially ...

After several years of fruitless negotiation with the British Government —who were being pressured by the OAU and the African members of the Commonwealth to force a quick solution to Rhodesia on their terms— Smith and his cabinet issued a Unilateral Declaration of Independence on November 11, 1965. The British colony of Southern Rhodesia thus became a sovereign state, a move Smith believed would finally free the nation from Britain's constant meddling. This however, brought widespread international condemnation including the first econom ...

Reginald Maudling was born in North Finchley and was named after his father, Reginald George Maudling, who ran the Commercial Calculating Company Ltd which made calculating machines. His early years were spent in Bexhill when the family moved to escape German air raids; he won a scholarship to attend the Merchant Taylors School and Merton College, Oxford. At Oxford, Maudling stayed out of undergraduate politics and concentrated on developing a personal philosophy of pragmatism and opposition to ideology. He worked hard, and obtained his d ...

Heads of state in countries with either an uncodified and partly unwritten constitution (such as the United Kingdom) or a wholly written constitution that consists of a text augmented by additional conventions, traditions, Letters Patent, etc. (such as the Commonwealth of Australia) generally have reserve powers.

From the late 19th Century, the majority of Irish people wanted the British government to give some sort of self-rule to Ireland. The Irish Nationalist Party regularly held the balance of power in the British House of Commons in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, a position from which it sought to gain Home Rule, which would have given Ireland autonomy in internal affairs, without breaking up the United Kingdom. Two bills granting home rule to Ireland were passed by the Commons in the 1886 and 1893—only to be rejected by the House of ...

(see also the Lemass Era) On June 23, 1959 Seán Lemass was appointed Taoiseach on the nomination of Dáil Éireann. Many had wondered if Fianna Fáil could survive without de Valera as leader. However, Lemass quickly established his control on the party. Although he was one of the founder-members of Fianna Fáil he was still only fifty-nine years old, seventeen years younger than the nearly blind de Valera. Consequently, this change in leader and his lifelong devotion to economic matters left him more in tune with the needs of the 1960s in Ireland. ...

On 6 June, the Queen lit a bonfire beacon at Windsor Castle, whose light spread across the night in a chain of other beacons throughout the country. On 7 June, crowds lined the procession to St Paul's Cathedral, where the royal family attended a Service of Thanksgiving alongside many world leaders, including United States President Jimmy Carter, as well as all of the former living Prime Ministers, stretching back from Harold Macmillan all the way to Harold Wilson. The service was followed by lunch in the Guildhall, hosted by the Lord Mayor o ...

Six-Day War - Operation Focus. Israel's first and most important move was a pre-emptive attack on the Egyptian Air Force. It was by far the largest and the most modern of all the Arab air forces, sporting about 450 combat aircraft, all of them Soviet-built and relatively new. Of particular concern to the Israelis were the 30 TU-16 Badger medium bombers, capable of inflicting heavy damage to Israeli military and civilian centers. [ ...

Some historians dispute whether there is in fact a single, continuous Sinn Féin. Some merely see a collection of parties descended from each other, as its various leaderships in the 1920s, 1930s, 1960s, 1980s and 1990s split, with other moving to form rival parties, most with new names, some keeping the words Sinn Féin in their title. The Sinn Féin of Arthur Griffith certainly has very little in common with the party currently in existence. Griffith had sought to re-establish the dual monarchy, which he contended was still l ...

The split in the Irish Republican Army, soon followed by a parallel split in Sinn Féin, was the result of the dissatisfaction of more traditional and militant republicans at the political direction taken by the leadership. Particular objects of their discontent were the IRA's unwillingness to engage in armed action against the British state or military defence of Catholic areas in Northern Ireland, and Sinn Féin's ending of its policy of abstentionism in Ireland. This issue is a key one in republican ideology, as traditional republicans re ...

Work on nuclear marine propulsion started in the 1940s, and the first test reactor started up in the United States in 1953. The first nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus, put to sea in 1955. This marked the transition of submarines from slow underwater vessels to warships capable of sustaining 20-25 knots (37-46 km/h) submerged for weeks on end. The submarine had come into its own. Nautilus led to the parallel development of further (Skate-class) submarines, powered by single reactors, and an aircraft c ...

The idea for a NICC was first mooted by the Northern Ireland Office when it produced a white paper entitled The Northern Ireland Constitution [1] on the 4th July 1974.

The proposals became law with the Northern Ireland Act of 1974 [2] later that month. With Lord C ...

An OU undergraduate degree requires 300 credit points (360 for honours), with each course being attributed a number of points (usually 30 or 60) depending on the content. One point is generally considered to correspond to ten hours of student time (studying, attending optional lectures, and revising). Courses are also rated as levels 1, 2 or 3, roughly equating to first, second or third, and final year courses at traditional universities. Students generally do not undertake more than 60 points per year, meaning that an undergraduate degree w ...
